"Bonding over Phobia: Restaging a Revolution at the Expense of Black Revolt"

"This logical fallacy occurs when Hamilton and its critical commentators conflate “immigrantness” with “slaveness”. This conflation serves as the ideological glue that holds the musical together, as well as the base ingredient for not only the coherence of the project but for its praise and reception. To be clear, what I’m not saying is that Hamilton is “unworthy” of praise, nor am I evaluating its quality as a work of art. What I am saying is there might be something else in the air."
